Oh yeah, I met Chris Hani when I was a reporter, back in 1991 — not sure of the exact reason he and his compatriots were in the U.S., at that point. Previous Message
I know you've heard of Steve Biko, Walter Sisulu, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, and Vuyisile Mini who was an Umkhonto we Sizwe activist, and many others including Dimitri Tsafendas the Mulatto who killed the Apartheid president in 1966.
Now the question is have you ever heard of Chris Hani(photo below)?? I've never heard of him til this morning. The assassination of Chris Hani, then leader of the South African "Communist Party" and erstwhile Chief of Staff of UmKhonto we Sizwe(an armed wing of the ANC) on 10th April 1993, was an act that sent shock waves through South Africa, then in an early and fragile stage of its transition to democracy. Chris Hani was also a military commander, a politician and revolutionary.
